Hydrogen Adsorption on (5,0) and (3,3) Na-decorated BNNTs

The storage capacity of hydrogen on Na-decorated born nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) is investigated by using density functional theory within Quantum Espresso and Gaussian 09. The results obtained predict that a single Na atom tends to occupy above the central region of the hexagonal rings in (5,0) and (3,3) BNNT structures with a binding energy of -2.67 and -4.28 eV/Na-atom respectively. When a si...

Controlling electronic spin relaxation of cold molecules with electric fields.

We present a theoretical study of atom-molecule collisions in superimposed electric and magnetic fields and show that dynamics of electronic spin relaxation in molecules at temperatures below 0.5 K can be manipulated by varying the strength and the relative orientation of the applied fields. The mechanism of electric field control of Zeeman transitions is based on an intricate interplay between...

Fine structure in the decay of deformed proton emitters: nonadiabatic approach

The coupled-channel Schrodinger equation with outgoing wave boundary conditions is employed to study the fine structure seen in the proton decay of deformed even- N, odd- Z rare earth nuclei 131Eu and 141Ho. Experimental lifetimes and proton-decay branching ratios are reproduced. Variations with the standard adiabatic theory are discussed.
